Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automobile manufacturing technology, and in particular to an automobile front bumper bracket assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Automobile manufacturing technology encompasses multiple fields, ranging from traditional mechanical engineering to modern information technology, new materials science, and automation technology.

[0003] Car bumpers can be traced back to the early 20th century, when cars were just being invented. They were mainly used to protect the front of the vehicle from damage in low-speed collisions. With the development of the automotive industry and the improvement of safety awareness, bumpers have gradually evolved, not only focusing more on the protection of passengers and pedestrians in terms of function, but also becoming more diverse and aesthetically pleasing in terms of design.

[0004] Existing automotive front bumper bracket assemblies are all monolithic structures, which cannot withstand rigidity and impact. They will deform and be damaged when subjected to compression. On the one hand, monolithic bracket assemblies are prone to change when subjected to external forces and cannot provide sufficient rigid support, resulting in the bracket being unable to effectively resist external compression. On the other hand, when a vehicle collides or is subjected to a large external impact, monolithic bracket assemblies are easily damaged. The lack of additional reinforcement measures makes it impossible for the bracket to effectively absorb and disperse energy when subjected to impact, resulting in damage to the bracket assembly and the bumper connected to it.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, we have introduced a front bumper bracket assembly for automobiles. Utility Model Content

[0006] This utility model discloses a front bumper bracket assembly for automobiles, aiming to solve the technical problems in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A front bumper bracket assembly for automobiles includes two symmetrically arranged bracket assemblies, and further includes: a sleeve groove, the sleeve groove being formed inside the bracket assemblies; a through groove, the through groove being formed on one side of the bracket assemblies and communicating with the sleeve groove; a retaining groove, the retaining groove being formed inside the bracket assemblies and located below the sleeve groove; two alignment holes, both of the two alignment holes being formed on one side of the bracket assemblies and communicating with the retaining groove; four first reinforcing ribs, the four first reinforcing ribs being fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the sleeve groove and between the through groove; second reinforcing ribs, the second reinforcing ribs being fixedly connected inside the retaining groove; and two reinforcing rings, both of the two reinforcing rings being fixedly connected inside the retaining groove and located on one side of the corresponding alignment hole.

[0009] The symmetrical design of the bracket assembly ensures structural balance and stability. The slot and through-slot design provides installation space for the bumper, ensuring a secure connection. The slot and alignment hole design secures the bumper connectors, preventing loosening during driving. The first and second reinforcing ribs increase the structural strength of the bracket and improve its compressive strength during collisions. The reinforcing ring further strengthens the structure around the alignment hole, ensuring the firmness of the connectors. This design improves the structural strength and ease of installation of the bracket assembly, making it suitable for supporting and protecting automotive front bumpers.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the outer side of the entire support structure is provided with a rounded chamfer structure.

[0011] By incorporating a rounded chamfer design, the risk of scratching external parts during installation and use is reduced, while the aesthetics of the bracket are enhanced, and the compatibility and safety of the bracket are improved.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, both the first reinforcing rib and the second reinforcing rib are set at an angle.

[0013] By setting the first and second reinforcing ribs with an angled design, not only is the structural strength of the bracket increased, but the stress distribution is also optimized, reducing deformation or damage caused by excessive local stress, and improving the bracket's impact resistance and service life for vehicles used in complex road environments.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the overall cost of the stent is configured as a PP+GF30 structure.

[0015] By using a combination of PP polypropylene and GF30, 30% glass fiber reinforced materials, the structure not only improves the structural strength and durability of the bracket, but also reduces its weight, thereby improving the fuel economy of the vehicle. This makes it suitable for automotive components that require high-performance and lightweight materials.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the overall thickness of the support structure is set to 2.35 mm.

[0017] By setting a thickness of 2.35mm, the weight of the bracket is reduced to the minimum while ensuring structural strength. It meets performance requirements while reducing material costs and manufacturing difficulty, making it suitable for automotive parts that require high cost-effectiveness.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the first and second reinforcing ribs are set to be 80% of the total thickness of the support body.

[0019] By setting the first and second reinforcing ribs to 80% of the total thickness of the bracket body, the local strength of the bracket is greatly increased, ensuring the compressive strength of critical parts. At the same time, compared with the full thickness design, the overall weight is reduced, improving the balance between performance and lightweight, making it suitable for automotive parts with high strength requirements that require local reinforcement.

[0020] The automotive front bumper bracket assembly provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0021] In this invention, the symmetrical arrangement of the bracket assembly ensures the structural balance and stability of the bracket. The design of the sleeve groove and through groove provides installation space for the bumper, ensuring a stable connection of the bumper. The design of the slot and alignment hole is used to fix the connecting parts of the bumper and prevent them from loosening during driving. The first and second reinforcing ribs increase the structural strength of the bracket and improve its compressive strength during collision. The reinforcing ring further strengthens the structure around the alignment hole, ensuring the firmness of the connecting parts. On the one hand, in the event of a collision, the bracket assembly can effectively absorb and disperse the collision energy, reducing the impact on the bumper and other parts of the vehicle body, which helps protect the safety of the occupants of the vehicle. On the other hand, the reinforced structural design can ensure that the bumper will not fall off during a collision, avoiding secondary accidents caused by the bumper falling off, further improving driving safety. Compared with traditional devices, it greatly improves the quality of operation and the efficiency of use. Attached Figure Description
